This is the response posted to a member who was considering leaving...
Control is the last thing we want. Measures were taken to ensure that control would be shared among all members. We feel it is important for wardens and chiefs to be able to make decisions for their own clans. No one knows your members better than you do.
A council should only oversee the affairs of an organization. When a council uses it's power to control and micro manage every event, it quickly becomes as dictatorship. Had things continued in the current direction, your voice and opinions would not have been heard. If you had not experienced this type of behavior, consider yourself lucky. As FOUNDERS of this community, we made a decision that we feel will return AGC to its original design.
Yes you read correctly. There are several founders of this community. It has been stated that Swamp was the founder. While Swamp played an important role he is not the sole founder. This community was formed from "friends" who left another gaming community. Surprisingly, we left because the founders of that community tried to control us and our clan. This is the same thing that AGC was turning into.
It is a bit much to swallow, we understand that. It is hard for us as well. We tried for weeks to reach out and find a compromise with Swamp , Sub , and Fallen.
No matter what we tried or how hard we tried to work as a team, we met constant resistance. Our last resort was to do what we did.
Numerous events have occurred over the last 6 weeks that has concerned most of the higher ups. The end all move that sealed the deal occurred Friday night. This message board has an owner. That email and password was known to several of the founders. At 10:55 pm FallenAngel changed that password for no reason? This change occurred during a "private meeting" between Swamp/Fallen/Sub. It was the belief of the council, that this was a move to gain control of AGC. A move that would have fundamentally changed the course of our family. I can only imagine how upset they are. We stopped their plan! They now know what it feels like to not have their voices heard.
You should all be aware that this story is not one sided. They have their story and we have ours. I encourage you to find the truth. It is our desire that you would choose to stay in AGC, but realize that this is a choice that you must make. Please feel free to meet us online if you have further questions.
